Prostate cancer

I was diagnosed 8 years ago when i was 57.. PSA of 4 ... abnormally shaped prostate so I was told ... biopsy carried out & got results 2 weeks later ..Gleason score of 3:3 .... low dose brachytherapy carried out early 2011.....PSA went down to .5 ... steadily risen since then to 4.5 so basically treatment has failed so now told its either removal with rather telling side effects or wait till PSA reaches 10 then hormone injections but feel good & still alive so as I told family, friends & work colleagues get tested!!
